Sold To The Alphas I Hate-Chapter 286: The Nightmare

Eira’s POV

The air around me felt so dark and ominous all of a sudden. I am in pain... so much pain.

My eyes closed, tears rolling down, my body curled in the dark corner, and my hand clutched my chest as the pain in my heart was unbearable.

There was an echo of footsteps in the eerie silence around me.

"That must be painful, isn’t it?" a woman’s voice was heard. Someone had knelt just next to me.

I opened my teary eyes, my vision blurry, making me unable to see a thing in that dimly lit prison cell, except for a dark silhouette before me.

So much I felt that I could say no words, but helplessly look at the silhouette.

It knelt before me and held my hair in a painful grip and pulled me up by my hair to make me sit. The pain in my heart was too much, my body was almost limp to even react.

Her grip on my hair tightened as if she wanted to pull my hair out along with the skin. My gaze blurred even more to almost dark, my mind going entirely blank.

"Your mate rejected you," she chuckled hatefully. "You must feel like you are dying."

No word left my mouth. But yes, the pain was too much, but I didn’t regret being rejected. Because I didn’t love him.

"A little bitch like you, a mate of a top tier Alpha. Didn’t you think so?" she asked. "Let me tell you the truth."

I ended up closing my eyes as I was losing all my strength.

But...

A tight slap hit my face and it pulled me out of the daze, though my gaze remained unclear. "You dare fall asleep when I am talking to you, bitch."

My blurry gaze cleared a little and all I could see was something shining on the hand that had just slapped me. As if I had lost my mind, I could only focus on it, its image engraving in my mind.

"You are a pureblood, rarely born shewolf," I heard her say.

’Pureblood?’ My mind echoed the word.

"Born once in a century, can have only one fated mate and only breed with him," she laughed mockingly. "But your fated mate is gone. Now I’ll send you to the suffering you will never forget. You and your mate, both of you bastards will suffer and pay for what your people did with us."

I tried to focus on her face, gathering the last bit of my strength, but it betrayed me.

Then something was stuffed in my mouth. "Now rest in peace. By tomorrow you will only remember what you are and cry over it. You will regret being born, bitch. I am not going to kill you because what I need is inside you. Grow it for me and I will take it away. And then, I will make sure you and that bastard mate of yours suffer all your life."

’What does she mean?’

And I felt something dark surrounding my body, leaving me in more pain than I was already suffering. She pushed me back on the ground and stood up.

"Who... are... you...?" I finally managed to say, but...

"Your eternal suffering," she laughed and walked away. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

I wanted to stop her, but that darkness surrounding me left me in pain like my soul was shattering. I felt like dying so this pain would stop.

So many questions in my mind, but that pain washed everything away, leaving me with hope of someone to come to my rescue.

’Someone please save me... please... it hurts so much... Please save me...’

But then I heard a familiar voice.

"Eira... Eira..."

I felt the warm hand trying to shake me gently.

But I couldn’t react anymore, as if I was locked in deep darkness and nothing could pull me out of it.

Kael’s POV

I rushed inside Roman’s room. I could feel her fear, her pain.

She was curled on the bed, sweaty, shaking and in pain while Roman was calling for her, his own expression worried.

The moment he saw me, he said, "Call Liam. She seems to be in pain."

Of course she was in pain. I could feel it strongly, but this time her pain was accompanied by strong fear.

"It’s a nightmare," I said and quickly went to her.

"Eira..." I called her softly, trying not to scare her.

But she didn’t respond even after I tried to wake her up.

"What kind of nightmare is she having to not get out of it?" Lucian asked.

I realised something. She feared only one thing. A black wolf. Was she having a nightmare of it? She said she used to have nightmares of a black wolf chasing her.

I quickly stepped away from the bed. I am a black wolf and I didn’t want to scare her like before.

"Lucian, get my emergency kit," Jason instructed him and looked at me. "It’s not you. You are her mate. She is not scared of you now."

I wanted to feel relieved to hear it, but I couldn’t take a chance. She was like locked in whatever she was seeing.

"Rafe, call Liam," I told him and then turned back to Jason. "What should we do?"

"I will inject her with a drug so she can relax," Jason explained. "She is pregnant so I will keep the quantity right. We have to get her out of it quickly. It’s not good for the baby."

I could only trust Jason as only he knew these things better. All of us were worried and anxious. Only he was keeping his composure.

Lucian returned with the kit. Jason injected her with a drug and soon her body relaxed.

Jason sat next to her. He eased her hands from gripping the sheets and caressed her head by leaning close to her.

"Eira."

I had never heard him talk so softly to anyone. When it came to Eira, definitely each one of us changed into different beings.

She opened her teary eyes and looked at him. Recognition appeared in her eyes as if she was relieved to see him.

"Ja..son.."

"Yes. I am here," he assured her.

She started sobbing as if ready to pour her pain.

He continued to caress her cheek and wiped her tears. "It was just a nightmare. You are safe now with me."

She cried more.

He hugged her.

She didn’t reject it, but instead circled her hands around his neck as if too familiar with it, as if she trusted only him.

We four looked at each other. This was something unexpected from them both.

Was she accepting him? Or was she too scared to even care who comforted her?

The way Jason acted was with ease instead of being distant to her like he had been until now.

It made us question what was the reality? Is it what we were seeing now or is it what we had been seeing over the past two months?

Keeping aside, first I needed to know what scared her this much. I hoped not a blackwolf thing again.
